' B'OLTlNG-REEL.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 264,824, dated September 19, 1882.

Application filed August 16, 1882. (No model.)

following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is alongitudinal section ofa reel having combined therewith my improved clothfastening devices. Fig. 2 is an elevation'from the head end. Fig. 3 is an elevation from the tail end.- Fig. 4 is a section of a part of the head end of a slightly-modified construction. Fig. 5 is a perspective of the tail end.

The devicefor stretching and fastening the cloth to which this invention appertains can readily be applied to bolting-machines varying more or less in thedetails of their construction from the minor parts of the reel herein shown. t

The reel shown in the drawings has a central shalt, A, a plate or disk, B, at the head end, and a plate or disk, 0, at the tail. It is mounted by means of trunnions B at the head endand C at the tail, the trunnion B reel.

being formed, preferably, internally with the head-disk B, and the trunnion 0 being formed with the hub and spokes O at the tail of the By means of these trunnions the reel is supported in its bearings independently of the central shaft, A, which latter carries ,the beater-blades inside of the reel, the shaft being thus permitted to move much faster than the cloth part, thedift'erential speed being attained by any preferred mechanism.

B is an inwardly-turned flange at the edge of the plate or disk D at the head.

D is a ring situated a short distance inside of the disk B, and formed with or having attachcdthereto an outwardly-turned tlange, l), adapted to overlap the flange 13 the latter forming a bearing for the supporting-ring D.

E represents the bolting-cloth. It is drawn over the periphery of the ring D, and also over the flange D, and after which itis clamped.

F is a clamping band or ring on the outside of the flange D, adapted to grip the cloth tightly against the flange and ring and hold it firmly in position upon them.

Much trouble has been heretofore experienced in putting the bolting-cloth upon the supports commonly used, owing to the absence of holding devices adapted to grasp it while the clamping-ring was being applied or ad justed. To overcome this difficulty I have devised a simple but efficient means for holding the cloth, regardless of the clamping-baud, so that the latter can be removed or adjusted without-danger of the cloth slipping off from the ring D.

G G are tenter-hooks fastened to the ring D or the flange D, preferably being attached to the edge of and extending baokwardly from the latter. The end or edge of the boltingcloth is caused to engage with these hooks by passing thelatter through it. After the cloth is thus fastened the clamping band or ring F is secured in place by means of the ears ff and a joiniug-bolt,f.

' I I are bolts passing through both the disk B and the ring D, they having nuts it upon the outside of the disk, by which the ring can be drawn outward when it is desired to tighten the bolt-cloth.

It will be seen that the ring 1]) forms substantially an adjustable head for the 010l3l1 -1])( )I- tion of the reel; but I do not limit myself to tion can be readily carried out without varying essentially from said form.

form shown-that is to say, of the form of small points; but, as will be seen, these two can bemodified in many obvious ways. At the tail end of the reel the tenter-hooks may project directly from the outer face of the disk U, as shown in Fig. 3. y

The bolts I are shown in Fig.1 as being parts of the longitudinally-peripheral clothsupporting ribs I. in Fig. 4 a construction is shown in which the stretching-bolts I may be made separately from the other parts, if desired;

hVhat I claim isg I In a bolting-reel, the combination, uith an adjustable head and a band for confining the cloth, of tenter-hooks, or points for bold iug the cloth under tension while the band which permanently confines itis'being moved. or adjusted, substantially as set forth. v

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence oftwo witnesses.
